Me and my 3 Little Angels

Tqvm to Big Fish Media and Astro Ceria for inviting me and my Little Angels to cover the event. They really enjoyed themselves so much by listening, singing and dancing with their favourite characters, 'ChiChi & ChaCha' and of course Atan too. I'll definitely encourage my Little Angels to watch this show as its not only about the fun but my Little Angels also can learn from the movie throughout their growing up period. We should watch it too with our kids to increase the family bonding times. So, remember to watch it starting from 11th Oct at 10.30 a.m.
